DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND 

HUMAN SERVICES 

Notice of Interest Rate on Overdue 

Debts 

Section 30.18 of the Department of 

Health and Human Services’ claims 

collection regulations (45 CFR Part 30) 

provides that the Secretary shall charge 

an annual rate of interest, which is 

determined and fixed by the Secretary 

of the Treasury after considering private 

consumer rates of interest on the date 

that the Department of Health and 

Human Services becomes entitled to 

recovery. The rate cannot be lower than 

the Department of Treasury’s current 

value of funds rate or the applicable rate 

determined from the ‘‘Schedule of 

Certified Interest Rates with Range of 

Maturities’’ unless the Secretary waives 

interest in whole or part, or a different 

rate is prescribed by statute, contract, or 

repayment agreement. The Secretary of 

the Treasury may revise this rate 

quarterly. The Department of Health and 

Human Services publishes this rate in 

the Federal Register. 

The current rate of 103⁄8%, as fixed by 

the Secretary of the Treasury, is certified 

for the quarter ended June 30, 2014. 

This rate is based on the Interest Rates 

for Specific Legislation, ‘‘National 

Health Services Corps Scholarship 

Program (42 U.S.C. 250(B)(1)(A))’’ and 

‘‘National Research Service Award 

Program (42 U.S.C. 288(c)(4)(B)).’’ This 

interest rate will be applied to overdue 

debt until the Department of Health and 

Human Services publishes a revision.
